I wonder how big the permutation is for the difference for humans and our close cousins. Such a number would in theory give very combination for every person possible. This could be useful for grouping and identifying certain sequences when we find matches with a group of people who have a common disease. Once we find common sequences we can start work on gene therapy.
Disable IPV6. It's my understanding, a principle way to better secure any network is to disable as many things as possible. If you're not using it, remove it.
1.) Hacker find hole, and publishes it on well known website.
2.) Company B patents a way to solve hole.
3.) Company A patches it broken software
4.) Company B sues Company A
5.) Profit
What if you had a translation layer. Kinda like how NVidia does it's drivers?
Say you're using some library but dont want to deal with the licensing issue. Write an FOSS bridge layer that binds to the library, but then communicates requests to a proprietary application.
There must be a way around it. Haven't some commercial games for linux been written using SDL? Yet they are not FOSS.
does the user get a choice? Having access to more filesystems is a plus, but I wouldnt want to replace HFS+ for ZFS personally. So hopefully you can choice which one you want. Similiar to how Windows lets you choice FAT32 and NTFS, or OS X you can do HFS or HFS+, or Linux with ext2, ext3, reiser, etc.
Thought linking to libraries or other components was fine as long as you where dynamically linking. The only time the license became an issue even for commercial work was if you statically linked the code into your application. Difference being dynamic you call and ask for something, static the other code becomes part of your binary.
Perhaps this linking scenerio is a "hole" that was plugged in GPL 3, but I dont know but would like to find out if anyone here does know.
Because as a developer we can always choose. GPL2, 3, BSD, Mozilla, MIT whatever we want. We are the ones in control. It's the users that can get annoyed when a package they could normally use can't after a license shift.
he perceived calm right now exists because too few people are trying to attack the platform.
Agree... people use to say the same thing about Macs. Now that they're gaining ground, it seems every week I hear something about "OS X has 17 updates for vulnerabilites". Not saying OS X is bad, just your point is very valid.
As more and more 3rd world countries start going all linux, and popularity grows I agree more exploits will come out.
Thought after IE came out and Netscape more or less died, it was released as OSS which became Mozilla and eventually Firefox. So confused over this new release, is this an updated fork of the original code that became Mozilla?
He does have a nice chip to cash in. The MVP award. Imagine going before a judge and saying "Yes they're suing me for Testdrive.net, but if it's so illegal why did they give me the MVP award"
But almost EVERY computer component I've seen carries at least a 1 year warrantee. If they use Seagate drives (not sure) they have a 5 year warantee. So it's not like they're completely out in the cold. But agree it is more of a nuisance to ship 10 diff pieces to 10 diff people than just sending the puter back to Dell.
They have a system to diagnose and test hardware defects based on software checks which aren't available under Linux. They need to create a similiar system where each component can be tested using native linux tools.
Yes please check dmesg | grep ERROR. Try saying that to someone who doesnt know what a shell is.

Isn't this one of the greatest freedoms we Americans have? Freedom of Speech? I can understand the concept of "indecent" and around kids agree, but not at the expense of censorship. It's up to parents to take care of their kids. If a show is kinda raunchy then don't allow your kids to watch it, if it's not in your personal beliefs. But don't limit people who want to express or see this form of expression.
I think we spend too much time and money in this country trying to make everyone happy and remove responsibility from those who are supposed to be in charge.
Albert Einstein described quantum entanglement as "spooky action at a distance" and it relies on the fact that two photons can be created in such a way that they behave as a single object, even if they are separated by large distances. In behaving in this way they are acting as a teleportation machine because any changes to one causes similar changes to the other.
This sounds like a new form of fiber optics rather than teleportation. No item was physically disassembled and reassembled in another place. Rather they used telescopes to focus light. Perhaps I misinterpreted the article.

I use it on a honeypot server, leaving linux and apache as my real machine.
Microsoft had their own Unix back in the day:

This was posted on /. a year or two ago. Wasn't it found out that the story was faked?

This could be a nice node for building city-wide mesh networks. :)
Nope because the whole planet would have been sucked in and probably Earth as well.

I can see the Navy using FOSS since they can hire people to modify it to their specific needs and save money while also increasing security.

Want FOSS install fink, and apt-get install whatever.
Are you having a bad day?
